Will Gareth Hock be a beneficiary I wonder.

He's a right scrotum, he'll never be forgiven for trying to pull Harrisons' eyes from his skull a couple years back, what a sad sack. Keep him away from a Wire shirt.

If we wake up tomorrow and for ability reasons we have signed Hock with conditions (like Carney has) on his contract, what do we do?

When his head is on right he is an outstandingly aggressive runner and he is a good defender!

Having said that he is a complete nut job



If we are going to take a chance on someone why don't we have a go with the 23 year old that played for Oldham aganist Hunslet in the GF yesterday. He was a bit of a handful.

Question is do we need another forward?

2 yards from the tryline, there's no better player to have a ball in his hands than Hock. So often his upper body strength and aggressive attitude have given him a try.
....Alas there is a darkside to him and I honesty don't think that can be controlled...he just sees red mist in a fraction of a second and reacts before he thinks, but his ability I don't question.

"but his ability I don't question"

Duck, no doubt he was once a force to be reckoned with, a frightening sight for defences but has he still got it, I am not sure he has, a fading light me thinks

If Tony Smith has this time machine that can turn players back to the form they showed 3 or 4 years ago then put Asotasi in it, or Paul Wood, never mind Hock.
